The the average person the whole banking and cash system doesnt look great...

The systems aren't at cost of the tax payer and as you said have been sanctioned by the FED. The government doesn't pay for stuff with taxpayers money it just supplements itself with it - printing money to banks is not a cost to the taxpayer it's a wealth tax on those holding cash.

I'm not sure of the protocols for banks current reserves (previous were around 3% so we may find out again soon) but loans are already priced into the market from the point they're taken imo.

I thought I mentioned them?.
My point with Amex was they're not accepted in many places due totthe high fees..

Realistically I'd like to see banks team up with supermarkets or supermarkets owning banks (like tesco have a bank in the UK). So the company can manage everything for the customer if the customer wants them to and they will still get faster payments - even if done via a blockchain.

How do you inadvertently plagiarise? Was it not obvious what you were copying was someone else's work?

If you're banned and have committed the offence then it's unlikely you'll be unbanned, this might just be one to move on from.

I hope we see a few companies hashing it out in the space and trying to be competitive against each other. One or two companies working just because they have a good name sounds like a bad idea (ie mastercard and visa)...

I don't know if cbdcs really aew a good route to go down as some countries don't like people holding foreign currency and that could continue and may be extended to other countries (which could include bitcoin). Much likd the American ban in the past of owning gold.

And as long as we have something secure that isn't as expensive and unaccepted as Amex then this might be good for making international payments cheaper.

I didn't know where the 0.618 actually came from (thought it was something to do with the sequence but) the 34/55 =0.618 is quite nice....

It's a bit like the rsi for me or the fear and greeted index as they can't all be used together but can support other basic TA patterns.

I see this current descending triangle (as I'd name it, extasie called it a bear penant as both are quite similar) but either way we should break down to 9000 in the next move coming (if we don't cross 10.6k before a drop below around 9700 I think this comes even more likely).

While I don't think my analysis isn't too innacurate, I don't trade it with much compared to the size of my hold position just in case.


I dunno I'm sure there are people loading up the charts every so often hoping bitcoin fails because they lost their wallet or missed $150 and are just hoping they're proven right...

That being said, there sure are those optimistically buying all the dips and doing fairly well from it but in this case, we all switch from being bears to being bulls at some point.

I'm just hoping we don't end up with a fake out before the gap fill but we got close to it last night.

I thought dynamic buttons were meant to be more user friendly. If you open the issue, instead make a button that says "proxy settings" or something.

And yeah if it's Windows 10 with bitlocker then the "bios settings" have been moved. If you've got a spare USB you can probabky find them and boot from the USB with an operating system like Ubuntu (though I've never not been an admin of a win10 machine so I don't know if those settings are blocked).

Ultimately the government have little knowhow of the issues facing normal people and can only really act on statistics (especially since a lot of their salary is guarenteed for a few years at least).

Governments generally respond to what other governments do and what people do in certain areas yes but its motivating the group of people do something different or having the resources to do it (which the government have).

I meant for the year it shouldn't cost more than $30.

Hi! Yeah I do remember that (took a while though) and no worries .


This is probably dependent on how much OP is actually making but people might feel more confident having the option between submitting kyc info on lbc or a personal website.

I didn't think the rules in Canada were that strict actually.

You shouldn't be paying more than about $20-30for cheap hosting even with a vps and domain (and then about $10-20 after the first year).

Yeah just shove it in services in the marketplace section.

The admin doesn't actively trade crypto and this forum was made for bitcoin community growth as a non profit.

Can you backup your seed and then install a new version of electrum. I'm not sure which panel it is in exactly but you can just go through file and across (it's probably the wallet menu) and click to reveal the seed once you put your password in.

IF YOU DO MANAGE TO CONNECT TO A SERVER, DO NOT SEND YOUR FUNDS ANYWHERE. There is a vulnerability in the old electrum that allows for a phishing message to be displayed and gets you to install a fake version.

Instead download the current version of electrum from electrum.org or use a search engine and click the first NON AD link you come across.

I think we clocked $12k before it started rallying down hard, I remember being online and in one refresh of a chart we'd dropped from $12k to $11.34k in what seemed like a small amount of time.

The rise in price also wasn't that healthy if we're sauying this drop isn't healthy. It looks like it was a fast move.


From memory: I thought $1000 is psychologically significant and then: $9400, $8800, $7500 or the areas around those, I don't think a drop to $8k will stay there and it will keep going a bit further. $7.5k could be a problematic drop but as long as we stay above $6k it might not effect much.

I could see us being healthy if we bounce of anywhere between here and $~8.4k (overcorrecting for the 8.6-8.8k levels).

It's just phases of a bubble? And a bubble is just a sudden increase in price that eventually bursts and resettles towards the mean.

The phase is recursive, the graph repeats itself over and over. It can be used to represent anything, the S&P and the ftse don't just go up - they drop every so often too.

I mean my point, if you'd look at the chart, is that now might be a good time to look at accumulating some funds if you've been holding just cash so far - for people waiting for dips. A 10-20% of potential investment entry wouldn't be a bad idea around now?

---

Nothing rises linearly and continuously, it's the whole principal of some technical analysis: such as Eliott waves.

I think they're often more what you see/experience after a bull run, at the moment they may not be relevant to some but it's something to keep an eye to get an idea of how "the crowd" reacts.


II thought it was because both have seen aggressive moves recently. I'm hoping it doesn't remain a thing - especially if it only follows American markets as they could be slowing down soon in growth...


I think I'm expecting $20-24k to be the closing mean of the whole movement (the price we settle back to whenever we see the next 2015/(2018 - with the $3k prices for a long time).

We did see a large rise and I do recall thinking there'd be a sell off after the really weird pattern we had forming.

It's an iterative process so the first sell off and major sell off phase are extremely similar and it could be either.


I'd suggest maintaining a hodl position or having some way of quikcly buying back in if we see something very bullisjh and then a capitulation.

A breakthrough of $10450 would have made $9700 a lot more likely from my analysis, a drop to 9600 and further is possible but I'm not sure how likely it is - we could certainly overcorrect past the 9700 and if we do that and have a slow(ish) take off - that doesn't cause a gap in other markets, I'd say it's a pretty healthy movement.


You can have smaller cycles incide bigger cycles though?

Is it caught on synchronising or not connected if you're not using a vpn or have configured electrum for one..

Do you have any antivirus installed that could be blocking it? (normally you'll see a popup)..

I think I've used my phone so much now I can't go back.... I don't have to do the zooming thing though because I preset stuff in Firefox to show text big enough which works most of the time. I bought a Bluetooth keyboard too but don't use it often.

Disclaimer: I have a 15cm tall phone screen and it's easier to use a bigger screen.

My main issue is autocorrect...

Just thought I'd remind myself how this goes and I reckon we're around the first sell off point or we'll be coming to that (we could still be up to half way along the initial rise and just entered the institutional phase). The mean I'd pick would probably be around $6000-8000



Edit: added bullish to title 23rd September.

If this is in relation to the pandemic - I don't thin k it's come off that bad we needed a downturn anyway as its a weird result of capitalism (a crash every 4-20 years).

In terms of the world, yes we do need to find ways to make everywhere a bit better (especially since it shouldn't be too hard in developed countries). I think there's a bigger problem that was mentioned earlier of people wanting short term change without any effort required - which benefits only a very few people and not even an entire population.

It's a weird one based on the article. Also is cbd still legal (with a max of 0.1-0.5% thc)?

I think the police in the US are extremely overmilitarised, they may as well not be separate institutions from what I can tell based on the amount of legal favours the police have there.

Drug prohibition in general is just a way for most governments to prosecute the poor - if you're rich enough you're getting a drug dealer to come near your land: you're not meeting them in an alleyway somewhere. I think weed is much safer than cigsrretes too - and it smells nicer.

The $4bn budget as an argument doesn't sound much though, the US and UK spend about that funding weapons against isil (so they can fight their proxy war with Russia).
